I fell in love with farming and was fortunate enough to be co-owner of a small, organic farm for a decade.  More recently I have been doing bookkeeping, mostly for nonprofits (CAFF, CCCD, CLBL) and in the last couple of years for several small farms. I have been blessed with mentors in the world of bookkeeping, particularly Poppy Davis and Federica Beatrice, and would like to support farmers in finding ways to enjoy, appreciate and make time for bookkeeping!
